WkRTB. — ELDER. l'^ 



i gave the same horse one dram and a Iiiiit 

 or SO grains, which proved equally inert. 

 About a week after, I gave the same animal 

 two drams of the best ScAr.iMONY 1 could 

 procure; it produced no eiiect : 24 hours 

 after, half an ounce was given v/ithout ef- 

 fect. About a week after this, 6 drams were 

 given at a dose, which produced a mode- 

 rate purjiinir. A few days after, I jj^ave the 

 horse half an ounce of the down taken 

 from the pods of D^ichos pruriensy or Cgxv^ 

 haga^ mixed with cr.ijacle, having observed 

 symptoms of worms; not the least effect 

 was ptodutetl. 



ELKCAMPANE. The root of this plant 

 is a weak arouialic stim;jlant, arid formerly 

 reco nmended in coughs, to promoLe expec- 

 toration : farriers use it for the same pur- 

 pose ; but, as we have many medicines of 

 th;s kind of greater efficacy, it hardly de- 

 serves notice. 



P2LDEII. The loaves and blossom are 

 employed, the former in the preparation of 

 an ointment and oil of a green colour, and 

 of little or no use; the latter is used in mak- 

 ing a white ointment, formerly recommend- 

 ed in ij){lammatory atfections of the skin,
